Zoe Saldaña had a special red carpet moment at the 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 12, 2025. While she was honored with the American Riviera Award, it was her three sons who stole the spotlight. The actress arrived with her twin sons, Cy and Bowie, 10, and youngest son, Zen, 8, all dressed in matching outfits. She stunned in a sleeveless sequined black gown and shared heartwarming embraces with her boys. One fan called them her “cute bodyguards!”
During the event, Saldaña reflected on her career, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning: “Your education should always be ongoing… It’s a muscle that only gets better through practice.” She also encouraged artists to celebrate and support others’ work.
Online, fans marveled at the striking resemblance between Saldaña and her sons, commenting, “They stole her face” and “Her genes won by a landslide.”
Though Saldaña occasionally shares public moments with her children, she prioritizes their privacy. “We have to choose for them and part of that is giving them the anonymity they need so they can feel safe,” she once explained. Her red carpet appearance showcased a touching blend of family and career success.
